Oh my goodness..I am the world’s worst blogger. I think I reached a point where I wanted to blog about what’s going on in my life but it had been so long and so many things have been happening that I didn’t know where to even begin. Then I think naturally you begin to question if having a blog is really worth it, you pay to have it up each month and what is really the point if you are not even using it. And on and on...

So here I am, for today at least. I hope that I can keep up with this a bit better. We shall see..We had a great time on vacation. It was actually really hard for me to relax. My husband laughs at that because he knows me so well. Not you he says..haha

It was really hard...I swear. I think I forgot what it is like to just sit, and be. I am always on the go, running around a hundred miles an hour. If I am not working on projects or the classes then I am doing something else. I need to always be doing something or cleaning, or chasing the kids etc. The kids had a great time..they loved, and I mean triple loved the beach. I think they would have picked up and moved the ocean and all the sand with their bare hands if they could have. It was pure joy watching them.

Jackson made lots of friends on the beach ‘my social butterfly’..Maddie is more content playing by herself or with me. She is a lot like I was as a child. She is a hoot, and our friends & family can tell you that she has the best facial expressions ever. I can not even begin to count how many she has, so funny. I will have to start posting some videos on here, that would be fun.. :)

My husband drove down and surprised us on Wednesday. It was such a nice surprise. I missed him, the kids missed him. When he first walked in we were seated at the breakfast table and Maddie of course had the best look on her face. She kept saying ‘Is it really you daddy’? So cute..

Well I have lots to say, but little time. I hope to post some more over the next few days..I have lots of pictures to share..

I know what you mean about trying to relax on vacation. And, I'm right there with you on being a bad blogger lately. I had a sick week last week, and I'm still trying to catch up. Looking forward to more beach pics.

Looks like you had such a wonderful vacation...and well deserved! So glad to see you back and eventually life will slow down a bit and you can feel up to date on your blog - haha - ebb and flow right? I do videos on my blog through videoegg - it's great and quite easy.

I know what you mean about finding time to blog. I have all these inner voices tellng me, "You should write this, and this, and this, and this...," and it is important, but it's also important to just be (as you said) and to live without recording it in writing or pictures. It's hard, though, because there's this nagging voice telling you you're missing it! Glad you guys had a great vacation. That's awesome that your husband surprised you! The photo is great. Can't wait to see more. I am SO loving your class!!!!

This picture is great! I love how Maddie is off to the side observing Jackson. It just screams great composition, but at the same time the composition really says something about what they are doing. PLEASE keep blogging even if it's rare and you have "busy lapses." I check your blog every day and I get so excited when there's a new picture posted!
